I really have missed posts being in order... knowing where you last left off scrolling, knowing when you're caught up on the feed, having temporal context for your feed as you go. All things the algorithms have mostly shot dead.

as someone who’s had an instagram for over a decade, it’s so wild to see that all that data is still in my activity page. kind of fun to travel back in time and see what my middle school self was liking even if it’s mostly over-filtered “artsy” content and advice animals

If you use Instagram in a web browser (like on a desktop computer), bookmark this:
https://www.instagram.com/?variant=following
to see only a chronological feed from the accounts you follow. You can also use variant=favorites to see only your favorite accounts.

Most of the time someone is going to tell me the latest news, or meme, or they're going to show me their social media feed, and i realize that after a while of not digging into things and just letting the information come to me that i was probably more in the know of what was going on then when i was constantly keeping up with it and searching for it
And i found the connection of letting people share these things with me gave way to more authentic social relationships, as a conversation was able to be had. I didn't know about something, they did, they told me, i asked questions, we laughed as i didn't get it or they explained some intricate back story as to why something came to be and we just talked. Which i would have missed out on if i knew the same thing they did And we'd go back to scrolling.

Context is that I'm severly and chronically depressed (yes, we all are, probably, I know) so when anything breaks through that thick framing in my mind it is... interesting? And this prompt of "reccomending" that's sparking overall genuine sharing of niche personal joys/experiences is definitely interesting, and kind of giving... AND possibly even lightly serving...

You can simply sleep on your overstuffed leather couch that's in your basement whenever you want btw. You can sleep there overnight. You can sleep there during the day. You can sleep on your guest twin mattress. Also, you can sleep on your shag IKEA rug that's on the floor for a nice spine and hip alignment reset.
